Wide Temperature Range Operation of Micron-scale Silicon Electro-optic Modulators
- 详细技术说明
- Cornell researchers have developed a micron-scale, high bit rate electro-optic modulator capable of operation over a wide temperature range.
- *Abstract
-
Cornell researchers have developed a micron-scale, high bit rate electro-optic modulator capable of operation over a wide temperature range. Unlike current modulators that are very temperature sensitive, this new device has been demonstrated at 1 Gbit/second with a quality factor of approximately 4000 over a 15 K temperature range. Capable of being manufactured in a standard industrial silicon CMOS fabrication facility, the device can be integrated into microchips to enable data rates exceeding 100 billion bits per second.
Potential Applications
- Photonic and electro-optic chips
- Tunable optical filters
- Optical routers and switches
Advantages
- Wide temperature range operation
- High switching speed
- Uses standard CMOS fabrication techniques
